The problem with Hollywood is that it is both in awe of and intimidated by art, and when mediocre Hollywood directors make films about music, dance or art, they almost always lapse more deeply into cliché than directors who prefer to tell stories about things they know, like extraterrestrials, mobsters, boxers, con artists and porn stars. Throughout the film we are given multiple reassurances that art is very important and a high ideal of humanity, and represents our most noble aspirations and teaches us to be human and lots of similar utterly meaningless blather — every word that comes out of Clooney’s mouth, especially in his tedious voiceovers, is a cliché. Hitler, he tells us, hates art, which is why he is rounding it up and keeping it for himself. This doesn’t make any sense, does it?.

What are Oonies? According to Moose Toys, they’re “air-filled balls of amazing fun.”. The bubbles — part-balloon, part-bubble — are made of a latex-free plastic material. Once inflated, Oonies can be stuck together and decorated to create animals, monsters, even elaborate games. But the fun is temporary: Oonies typically deflate within a matter of days. The Oonies Mega Starter Pack, on the Toys R Us “hot toy” list, costs $29.99 and comes with 90 pellets and an “inflator.”.

The Richmond patrol officer had been called back to the police station on Aug. 16, 2012, to handle what he thought was a routine runaway call, but he quickly became suspicious. “She said she had recently run away from home and if her (relative) came to make a missing persons report, (tell him) she’s OK,” Peixoto said. “I told her, ‘You know you’re 27, and you don’t need permission to leave.'”. The 48-year-old veteran officer, with a daughter of his own, kept asking questions and gained the trust of the woman, who eventually shared a story almost too incredible to believe: Since the age of 12, she had been sexually assaulted two to three times a week by a male family member in their North Richmond home. The revelation led to quick and diligent police work, and an arrest within 24 hours.
